St. Petersburg, Russia (WOLO) — The death toll in the deadly blast in Russia’s second largest city has grown.

Russian President Vladimir Putin visited a growing makeshift memorial outside of the Metro station where the blast happened.

The suspected bomber has now been identified as 22 year old Akbarzhon Dzahlilov who officials say was from Kyrgyzstan but has a Russian passport.

The Kremlin says President Trump has called Putin to offer condolences.
